Total War: Attila - The Last Roman

Mechanics

The main feature of Total War: Atilla – The Last Roman for PC is a story-driven campaign set on a detailed map that includes Western Europe and North Africa. The gameplay formula remains unchanged: running the country is turn-based and takes place on the world map; when it comes to battles, those are in real-time as usual. Traditionally, the players have a lot of liberty in developing their armies, cities, or technologies, as well as in choice of new targets to attack. This time however, the player is not entirely free as to what they decide to do, because the emperor entrusts Belisarius with particular tasks and ignoring those can result in serious consequences. Moreover, the empress has her demands as well, apart from Belisarius's own wife. Goals of these persons are often contradictory, thus making everyone happy is not possible. It is up to the player to decide to whom do they wish to remain loyal.

The list of playable factions was enriched with 5 new ones, including the Roman expedition, as well as tribes of Ostrogoths, Vandals, Franks and Visigoths. Those differ in bonuses they come with, as well as their individual starting locations. Each of these factions was given a handful of additional combat units matching the historical realities. Also, the expansion brings many buildings and technologies.
